  • What feedstock is used in biodiesel production?
  • The feedstock for biodiesel production includes animal fats and waste vegetable oils (yellow grease) and only a small quantity of canola oil is used to produce biodiesel. A fraction of Canadian canola oil has been shipped to the United States for production of biodiesel, which is then shipped back to Canada to meet the mandate.
  • What is the role of vegetable oil in biodiesel production?
  • The use of vegetable oils as feedstock will play a major role in supplying biodiesel to various sectors such as those of agriculture and transportation. The use of different vegetable oil affects production processes and costs as well as the resulting biodiesel characteristics.
  • Can crop biotechnology improve biodiesel quality?
  • Efforts to improve biodiesel quality through crop biotechnology are typically focused on various strategies to alter the fatty acid composition of plant oils; however, rising demand for oils for both food and fuel is also driving research into increasing seed oil content.
  • Are edible oils used in biodiesel production?
  • Although there is global concern about using edible oils for biodiesel production, their use has steadily increased . Hence, microalgae and other non-edible oils such as Jatropha, neem oil, castor oil, and tall oil are now being used as alternatives in the production of biodiesel .
  • Which lipid feedstock is used for synthesis of biodiesel in India?
  • Coconut oil is another lipid feedstock used for synthesis of biodiesel in coastal areas. Potential non-edible oils used as lipid feedstock in India include jatropha oil (Jatropha curcas) and karanja oil (Pongamia pinnata) . Table 1 summarizes oilseed price and availability which are important parameters to consider as biodiesel feedstock.
  • When was biodiesel invented?
  • The term ¡°biodiesel¡± made its first appearance in a paper published in 1988 and this term was used exponentially thereafter . Biodiesel is mono alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids that can be prepared from acyl-glycerol (usually triglyceride) in vegetable oils via transesterification with short chain alcohols.
